mollyeilis Posted October 24, 2017 #151 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Article posted on my roll call board about hotels which I find interesting! http://puertoriconow.seepuertorico.com/hotels/ The reason for the few threads about actual experience is because that page hasn't really been accurate. They are either too optimistic, are going by websites, or they are calling hotels "open" when they are open for FEMA but not private guests.

Luvmypetz Posted October 24, 2017 #153 Share Posted October 24, 2017 FWIW, this has been driving me crazy as well, and I don't sail till Jan. Had 3 different bookings at booking.com. Took another poster's advice and secured a studio apt at Airbnb. Called # before paying and an actual person answered, saying all was well. I'll have to take his word. It's called Casa Cecilia Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SensFan11 Posted October 27, 2017 #167 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Things may be about to change on the hotel front in San Juan, and while it would be great for Puerto Ricans affected by Maria, it could make it even harder for vacationers to find a place to stay. On Wednesday, the Governor of Puerto Rico formally requested that FEMA activate Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA)...once it's approved, likely today, any Puerto Ricans who's home has been damaged or destroyed will be able to apply to get a hotel room paid for by government...which it's expected will immediately overwhelming the remaining hotels operating and not already occupied by emergency workers. Furthermore, the Governor also requested that the US government move federal workers out of Puerto Rico hotels - either into temporary housing camps (which would have to be built) or onto ships (meaning FEMA may charter more cruise ships, much as they've already done in St. Thomas and St.Croix). While this won't happen overnight, if FEMA agrees, this will also affect hotel inventory in San Juan Here's more detail on the TSA request as Puerto Rican await FEMAs approval: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesbeara Posted October 27, 2017 #168 Share Posted October 27, 2017 If the Governor of Puerto Rico's request for Transitional Housing is approved by FEMA this should be helpful for cruisers looking for hotels NOT part of the program.
